Abstract: In previously known methods, welded joints have to be produced which result in inaccuracies regarding size and shape. The aim of the invention is to make it possible to produce locking sleeves with great accuracy. Said aim is achieved by a novel method comprising the following steps: a) a tubular blank (10) is cut to length from a metal pipe in the form of a pipe section; b) the diameter of the tubular blank (10) is increased or reduced along the axial length thereof such that a sleeve-shaped basic element (14) having a graduated diameter is formed; c) the basic element (14) is given its final geometrical shape by means of at least one pressing process; and d) a gate (16) is cut into the basic element (14) so as form the locking sleeve (1). The inventive method makes it possible to produce a metallic locking sleeve (1) encompassing a gate (16) with great accuracy. Said locking sleeve (1) is part of a gearshift dome that forms the connection between the inner gearshift mechanism of a manual transmission and an associated selector lever.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of laser welding a number of coated metal sheets including the steps of: providing the coated sheets to be joined, and creating a raised region on at least one of the coated sheets. The raised region is formed on a first surface of the metal sheet while the second opposite surface of the sheet remains continuous and uninterrupted. A laser is then applied forming a weld joint where gases produced during the forming of the laser weld escape via the at least one embossment. In an alternative embodiment fine particles may be distributed on the surface of one or both of the sheets of coated metal to introduce a gap for the gases produced during the forming of the laser weld a place to escape. Preferably the fine particles will be zinc dust to maintain the coating between the two sheets to be joined.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for friction welding termination elements at first and second ends (21, 23) of a cylindrical shaft (15) in alaignment with an axis. A shaft receiver (17) receives the cylindrical shaft (15), and a first chuck (70) grips and rotates the cylindrical shaft (15) in alignment with the axis. A second chuck (75) grips the cylindrical shaft (15) and translates the second chuck (75) between first and second axial positions. A first termination receiver (155) receives the first termination (30) and axially translates same to a first installation position. An installation drive (90) urges the first termination (30) axially toward the cylindrical shaft (15) as it is rotated. A second termination receiver axially translates second termination (32) to a second installtion position in allignment with the axis. A second installation drive (91) urges the second termination element (32) axially toward the cylindrical shaft as it is rotated. The first chuck (70) is rotated at approximately between 500 to 6000 rmp. The first installation drive arrangement (90) applies between 250 to 3000 pounds of axial force for between 1 and 15 seconds during a heating phase, and between 1500 to 12000 pounds of axial force for between 0.5 and 10 seconds during a forging phase.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for machining, especially for joining work pieces (2) in the shell of a body structure. The work pieces are transported in a continuous manner along a transfer line (3) by a conveyor (5) and are machined by several robots (7, 8) which are preferably arranged in a stationary manner on the transfer line. The robots (7, 8) are synchronised with the conveying movement of the work pieces (2). The movement and the position of the workpieces (2) are detected by a sensor system (13) which informs a control system (12) which controls the conveyors (5) and the robots (7,8). The machining system (1) can comprise a monitoring system (11) provided with an optical image detection system, which enables synchronisation to be monitored and possibly retroactively adjusted.

Abstract: The invention is intended to make jigs for the side members and for the roof lightweight and compact and to facilitate the analysis of problems concerning the assemblability of the side members and the roof. In the first step, clamp jigs (11-1 to 11-4) are used to position a pair of right and left side members (4) and weld them to an underbody (3) positioned at a predetermined position in a vehicle body assembly line (2). In the subsequent second step, the clamp jigs (11-1 to 11-4) are opened and then a roof (31) is placed between the upper weld edges of the right and left side members (4), while using beam-like jigs (35, 36) for positioning and welding.
